As the Congress-led Centre braces itself for its ambitious National Food Security Bill whose revised version is slated to be placed during this Parliament session between March 19 and 21, activists of the Right to Food Campaign have announced a fresh round of demonstrations to push for universal comprehensive food security with entitlements of food grains, oils and pulses.
Rejecting the latest draft, which according to the Union Food Minister, K.V. Thomas, has been prepared after more than 252-odd amendments, they described it as "piecemeal, diluted and minimalistic" and one that will lead to a lot of poor slipping from the gaps.
